He Xiaoyu didn't believe a single word Li Mu said.
Shaking her head bitterly, she said in a low voice, “When she's finally done torturing you, she’ll ask you to remarry her. She’s revenging you right now. And when she's done, it’ll be over for us.”
Li Mu sighed and said nothing more. He knew what He Xiaoyu said was right. His fate was all in Lin Wan’s hands. Unless she took the initiative to let go of him, he would never be able to escape from her.
“Li Mu, are you really afraid of her? Or are you just using it as an excuse? I want to hear the truth!”
He Xiaoyu bowed her head, and her expression became forlorn.
Li Mu knew that she began to suspect him. She had a point. He was a strong and healthy man. So it made no sense for him to act so lowly and obey his ex-wife.
The way he kept giving in was indeed puzzling. He was constantly submissive towards Lin Wan. But he honestly did not know why either. W
Shen Xingyue grinned merrily and said something secretly to Li Mu, “Li Mu, I'm not married yet!”He Xiaoyu was so jealous that she almost flipped out on the spot. What did she mean by saying stuff like this to Li Mu? Was she trying to rekindle an old flame?She suddenly had a question in mind. Why was Shen Xingyue here? Wasn't she the commercial director of the Central Shina Region? Why did she come to the north?It was understandable for her to be nervous though. When they were in college, Shen Xingyue and Li Mu dated each other and were really affectionate. But like many campus couples, they did not escape the fate of breaking up upon graduation.The main conflict between the two of them was where to settle down after graduation. Both of them wanted to return to their hometowns and did not want to go to the city where the other lived. And neither could convince the other. In the end, they decided to break up on good terms.
Lin Wan wanted to torture him of what he was proud of the most, which was his career. Lin Wan did this intentionally, as she wanted to kill her ex-husband’s pride and completely turn him into an obedient sheep.What she did not expect was the sudden appearance of a beautiful woman who appeared to have an intimate relationship with her ex-husband. Who on earth was this woman? Lin Wan was puzzled.The meeting went on as scheduled. And the conference host invited the General Manager of the Network department to announce the results of the service evaluation.A bald man turned on the microphone and began to read out the results of each company’s service evaluation. Upon reaching the end, he suddenly said, “Is the representative from Weihua Group here?”Shen Xingyue stood up immediately and said with a smile, “I’m here!”The bald man nodded and said kindly, “Weihua Group's annual service evaluation scored ten out of
Lin Wan thought of it seriously for a while and felt that her ex-husband was not lying. Almost every move he made was under her nose and it was true that she did not see him contacting this woman at all.“What was her previous occupation? What brings her here today?”“She worked at Weihua Group after graduating and was promoted as the Commercial Director of Central Shina Region. We have never crossed paths ever since we both graduated. Meeting her today was purely coincidental. There was an internal change of post in Weihua Group. Hence she was transferred to work as the General Manager of the North Region. This was why we happened to run into each other at today’s meeting.”That made sense. Lin Wan heaved a huge sigh of relief but upon recalling something, she asked in annoyance, “Is she your first girlfriend?”Li Mu didn’t dare to look at her yet didn’t dare to not answer her. He whispered, “I guess so!”“What
“I can learn anything else, but not hypnosis.” Li Mu did not agree with Lin Wan's suggestion and rejected her without hesitation.“Why?”“Because I have a stronger sense of security than you do. Lin Wan, you’ll only be able to completely relax when you do not depend on hypnosis anymore. Don't rush. Take your time. I’m sure that’ll happen sooner or later.”He Xiaoyu rushed up to Li Mu as soon as he left Lin Wan’s office.“Li Mu, how was it?”Li Mu gestured ‘OK’ and waved his hand towards her as they walked away while talking.“She gave us a six-month rectification period, which was very generous of her already.”He Xiaoyu twisted her head in the direction of the office and asked worriedly, “Since when has she become that kind? What did you do in exchange? What was the deal?”“Nonsense. It's not like I used my body as an exchange for this. What's the deal? Don’t make it sound
“Xingyue, how did you know about this? I don’t mind telling you but I can’t believe I’m unaware of this at all! I feel so embarrassed as a local business manager!”Li Mu was somewhat embarrassed when he said this.Shen Xingyue was surprised. She was just faking it in order to get her ex-boyfriend’s attention. But she never thought that Li Mu wasn’t aware of it at all! “Oh my! This is such a great chance!” She thought.“The users have already exchanged respectively for two rounds now. And you’re still totally unaware of it? Aren't gateways your company’s main business?”“I really wasn’t informed about it at all!” Li Mu started to panic. If he lost such a huge opportunity that was right in front of his eyes, he’d be shameless to stay in Dongyang Group any longer even if He Xiaoyu and her father did not blame him.That would be more than losing a huge order. It would be a humiliation, a disgrace, and a defeat he co
He Yang's words made Li Mu feel ashamed.“Noted, Dr. He. I’m very sorry about this. Please don't worry. I will talk to Lin Wan about this. No matter the price I have to pay, I will not let my family affairs have a negative impact on the company's business development!”He Yang gestured for him to sit down and softened his tone a little.“You don't have to be too upset or too stressed about it. We can give up on Shanyang Group. No big deal. Dongyang Group has gone through numerous challenges. Don’t worry. This one little challenge will not bring us down!”He Xiaoyu hurriedly agreed, “Li Mu, remember. Don't ever beg her humbly. It’s really no big deal if we don’t collaborate with Shanyang Group. We’re not afraid even if it means withdrawing from the mobile internet business!”Li Mu shook his head with a bitter smile. He knew that He Xiaoyu and He Yang were trying to make him feel better. Quitting the mobile intern
Intrigued, Li Mu looked at Mrs. Hong. He wanted to hear what she had to say.Mrs. Hong said lightly, “I have always believed that my family's arrangement was correct. Everything I have is given by my family, including my life, my glory, my power, and my status. I am willing to make sacrifices for the sake of my family's prosperity.”“Miss Hong, don't you think it's too heavy a price to pay?”“Li Mu, you’ll never know what it feels like. It’s the feeling of being connected to my family and my destiny is tied up with theirs. You can’t just take but not give! You’ll have to repay your deeds. Someone needs to sacrifice for the sake of the family. And this responsibility could necessarily be anyone’s. If everyone only thinks about themselves, the consequences are pretty obvious even if I don’t mention it!”“But the sacrifice was too great!”Mrs. Hong lifted her glass of wine once again and gently took a sip. She said
“This is exactly the reason why I’m here!”Mrs. Hong pulled Lin Wan back into her room and the two of them sat down on the edge of the bed.“I overheard your conversation with him. I knew you’d be soft-hearted. So I had to stop you. If you stop this test now, you are not helping him. Instead, you’re bringing harm to him!”Lin Wan's eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she looked at Mrs. Hong.The considerate Mrs. Hong let Lin Wan lean against the bed and pull over the blanket to cover her legs and feet.“You’re pregnant. Be careful and don't catch a cold. Cover yourself with this blanket and listen to what I have to tell you.”Lin Wan obediently hid under the blanket with her eyes still fixed on Mrs. Hong.Mrs. Hong said unhurriedly, “Let me ask you a question first. Who’d be Li Mu’s main rival after he takes over the Lin family?”“There’re too many!” Lin Wan answered truthful
